My parents told me that bread was horrible for my health, but I never listened to them until I started gaining weight. During my high school years, I was the decent size so I did not bother to pay attention to the foods that I ate. I was an athlete and I burned most of my calories during my workouts. However, after I graduated from high school, I became inactive and my appetite took control over me.

I gained twenty pounds during my freshman year at Claflin University. To be honest, I did not dwell on my weight gain because I thought it was completely normal. Nevertheless, my body could not handle all of the extra pounds I picked up. I tried to lose the weight during the beginning of my summer break, but I was unsuccessful. I almost gave up on losing weight until I stumbled upon the No Bread Challenge on Facebook.

According to health professionals, bread can lead to bloating because it cannot digest quickly in the human body. Therefore, humans should try to stay away from bread due to the fact that it will cause a person to gain weight. Earlier this week I made up my mind that I would not continue to contaminate my body with unnecessary carbs.

It is evident that humans can survive without consuming a lot of bread products. I do not understand why people perceive the No Bread Challenge to be difficult because it is one of the simplest diets I have tried. The human mind controls our cravings so we can overcome our unhealthy temptations. Yes, you can complete the 7-day challenge because it is quite simple! Remember, you do not live to eat unhealthy foods!
